STYRENE/ BUTADIENE COPOLYMER:It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all

substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in theworkplace.

At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (asevidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low asis practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum.

NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOTapply.

Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose orthroat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation ofworkers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly everyindividual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are establishedusing uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results are unavailable. An additional approach,typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals,has been to assign ceiling values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposurelimits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combineto warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based onintensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to beconsistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); thisis more closely allied to that of the USA.

OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:

as rubber processing fume:MEL-TWA: 0.6 mg/m3 as cyclohexane solubles [HSE, UK]

BRMA-TWA: 0.25 mg/m3 as cyclohexane solubles [BRMA Code of Practice]Rubber fume is a complex and indeterminate mixture of substances and is defined as "fume evolved in the

mixing, milling and blending of natural rubber and synthetic polymers combined with chemicals, and in theprocesses which convert the resultant blend into finished products or parts thereof, and including anyinspection procedures where fume continues to be evolved".

"Fume" generally describes solid particles generated by chemical reactions, or by condensation from thegaseous state, usually after volatilisation from melted substances, and often accompanied by a chemicalreaction such as oxidation or thermal breakdown.

Several chemical agents may occur in rubber fume which are experimental or animal carcinogens, however,given the number of chemicals used or formed during rubber making, difficulties arise in attributing aparticular effect to a given exposure.

Stomach cancer has been associated with work in jobs early in the production line; lung and loweroesophagus cancer with all work processes; and lymphomas with jobs where co-exposure to solvents occurs.Other cancers have also been reported with liver tumours appearing as a secondary phenomenon. No no-effectlevels have been determined.

Two studies showed no excess of bladder cancer in workers entering the industry after 1950: the excessrisk before that date is thought to result from exposure to residual beta-naphthylamines previously used asanti-oxidants.

as rubber process dust:MEL-TWA: 6 mg/m3 [HSE, UK]Rubber process dust is a complex, variable mixture of particulates defined as "dust arising in the stages

of rubber manufacture where ingredients are handled, weighed, added to or mixed with natural or syntheticelastomers. It does not include dusts arising from the abrasion of cured rubber but occurs during thepreparation of compounds of either synthetic or natural rubber.

There is some evidence that occupational exposure to rubber dusts produces an excess incidence of stomachcancer. HSE data concluded that there was a small but significant excess of stomach cancer associated withthe initial processes in rubber manufacture. Stomach cancer shows a marked social class gradient, which maylead to an over-estimation of the risk.

One report from the USA stated that exposure in rubber processing areas produces pulmonary disease butthis has not been supported by UK epidemiology nor reports from the industry.

No no-effect level has been determined. The MEL was considered appropriate because it was felt reasonablypractical for industry to comply with this value.

AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE:for exposure to ammonia gas/ vapours:Odour Threshold Value: Variously reported as 0.019 ppm and 55 ppm; AIHA Value 16.7 ppm (detection)NOTE: Detector tubes for ammonia, measuring in excess of 1 ppm, are commercially available.The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract and minimise

discomfort among workers that are not inured to its effects and systemic damage. Acclimatised persons areable to tolerate prolonged exposures of up to 100 ppm without symptoms. Marked irritation has been seen inpersons exposed to ammonia concentrations between 50 and 100 ppm only when the exposures involved suddenconcentration peaks which do not permit short-term acclimatisation. The detoxification capacity of the liveris significant since the amount of ammonia formed endogenously in the intestines markedly exceeds that fromexternal sources.

Depending onduration of exposure, there may be destruction of the epithelium, corneal andlenticular opacification, and iritis accompanied by hypopyon or haemorrhage andpossible loss of pigment from the posterior layer of the iris. Less severe damageis often resolved. In the case of severe damage, symptoms may be delayed; latecomplications including persistent oedema, vascularisation and corneal scarring,permanent opacity, acute angle glaucoma, staphyloma, cataract, and atrophy of theretina, iris, and symblepharon.

Repeated orprolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may bedue to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occurfollowing exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADSinclude the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset ofpersistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Areversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivityon methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia,have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritatinginhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure tothe irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result ofexposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completelyreversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
